In loving memory of Kelly James Jones, April 10, 1981- July 8, 2025. Kelly passed away in Lubbock, Texas, at the age of 44. He was born in Amarillo, Texas.
Kelly walked the path of life each day with deep, abiding faith and courage. He had a kind and giving heart and compassion for all he met on his life journey, sharing whatever he had with others. He never judged anyone but accepted them just as they were. He has been described as quiet, funny, unselfish, intelligent, a true friend, goofy, sweet, and devoted to God and his family. He will be missed by all who know him.
Kelly is survived by his mother, Judy Elmore, his second dad, Arnie Elmore, sister Jamie and Steve Smith, niece Greenley Smith, nephew Jaxson Smith, grandmother Gloria Tidwell, uncles and aunts John and Karen Tidwell, Jim and Donna Tidwell, Nancy French, cousins Amy Tidwell, Ashley Grunska, Ali Ely, Justin Tidwell, and Blaine French. He is preceded in death by his grandfather, Billy Joe Tidwell, an uncle, Billy L. Tidwell, and cousins Jason Tidwell, Arron Tidwell, and Jeremy Tidwell.
